Toyotomi Kunimatsu

Toyotomi Kunimatsu (豊臣 国松; 1608 – June 19, 1615) was a member of the Japanese clan of Toyotomi following the Edo period of the 17th century. Kunimatsu was famed for being the son of Toyotomi Hideyori, who was the son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. His mother was Hideyori's concubine, Icha (伊茶). His Dharma name was Rōseiin Unsan Chisai Daidōji (漏世院雲山智西大童子).

In 1615, during the Siege of Osaka, Hideyori was defeated and committed suicide by seppuku, while his castle was taken by the forces of Tokugawa Hidetada and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Kunimatsu, who was seven years of age at the time, was captured by Tokugawa forces, and was later executed by decapitation.
